--Winner, Red Dot Book Awards 2009-2010, Junior Category-- This diary began as Mum’s New Year’s resolution to get me to write. She told me to write when I am doing my big business. “Five to eight minutes max!” she said. “I don’t want you to develop piles!” And so my writing in the bathroom began. My entries started with the boring old stuff…then Mum got this new job as a writer and, following her around, I got to do fun stuff, like ogle at deformed frogs, see into the future with a fortune-telling parrot and wow at a life-sized F1 car made of chocolate! That’s how I got more interesting things to write about. Plus, I had to deal with an EVIL bully who was tormenting me at school…thank goodness for my best friends, Alvin and Anthony, we rallied against the bully and got through the year with lots of adventures and good fun!
Something bizarre has happened... my diaries have been STOLEN! Who could have taken them?! I have a sneaking suspicion it’s one of my fans. Yes, I have fans now, HORDES of them! I know the thief has even published my diaries online! My fan-mail just keeps pouring in. My Facebook page too has been buzzing with activity. I have more than 5,000 friends now! FINALLY, life looks like it’s turning around! What’s even better, a TV director has even offered to adapt my diaries into a TV SHOW! Imagine that! I should be jumping with joy, right? But what’s really ridiculous is that I found out that another boy has been chosen to play the lead role... Mine! I must find a way to stop this! I am the ONE and only Amos Lee. If I don’t get to play ME, then no one does.
11 days in TAIPEI, TAIWAN with my best friends. No naggy parents, no pesky siblings. I should be ecstatic, right? But nooo…Mum decided my first trip abroad should be culturally enriching. Which meant boring Chinese lessons. I told myself, stay positive! There’d be lots of bubble tea, all the street snacks I could find, sightseeing…
With Amos struggling to keep up with studies in secondary school, he has less time to serve as a toilet diarist. That’s where his sister Whoopie (infamously known as WPI) steps in. Her diary is different. She doesn’t follow any rule of thumb. She writes what she wants, when she wants, how she wants. From dabbling in playwriting to training the World’s First Human Poodle, Whoopie Lee will stop at nothing to prove that she is more talented than her brother! What did Amos call her—Whiny, Pesky and Irritating? No, never, she’s going to set the record straight.
It's my last year in junior school and I'm taking part in my school's newly launched Tween Idol Contest! I got myself a Twitter account to gain supporters who will vote for me. I'm furious that my arch enemy Michael is doing th same. Oh man he's everywhere - Facebook IM YouTube you name it while I deal with the worst zit-attack ever besides having to look after Everest while Mum blogs away nonstop! But what he doesn't realize is how poular I am now that I am writing the exciting new journal of the times - Poop Fiction. That alone will win me several thousand fans even though it has made me lose my place on the swim team. And my secret weapon? My sister WPI (Whiny Pesky and Irritating) and her two-girl band. She is so popular these days that it 's good to be her big brother. I'm kind of sad that my best friend Alvin is also running against me in the contest but hey may the best man win. Psst... I've got a few tricks up my sleeve...>
Jay Pather, Performance and Spatial Politics in South Africa offers the first full-length monograph on the award-winning choreographer, theater director, curator, and creative artist in contemporary global performance. Working within the contexts of African studies, dance, theater, and performance, Ketu H. Katrak explores the extent of Pather's productive career but also places him and his work in the South African and global arts scene, where he is considered a visionary. Pather, a South African of Indian heritage, is known as a master of space, site, and location. Katrak examines how Pather's performance practices place him in the center of global trends that are interdisciplinary, multidisciplinary, collaborative, and multimedia and that cross borders between dance, theater, visual art, and technology. Jay Pather, Performance and Spatial Politics in South Africa offers a vision of an artist who is strategically aware of the spatiality of human life, who understands the human body as the nation's collective history, and who is a symbol of hope and resilience after the trauma of violent segregation.
Amos Lee and family were off on their first family holiday ever, to Seoul, South Korea! But everyone was caught up in their own thing: Dad kept checking his work emails. Mum and Grandma were chasing down K-pop stars. Whoopie only cared about growing long eyelashes. And Everest was set to win a Choco Pie eating contest. As for Amos, he just wanted to win the Instagram Prize for Popular Youth! But when Grandpa went missing, the family holiday became a living nightmare. Grandpa was lost in a city of TEN MILLION people—how were they going to find him?
What if a dandelion became a real lion? With enchanting, ethereal art, this wordless story shares a world where reality can be transfigured by imagination. In a meadow filled with dandelion buds just about to flower, one dandelion blooms into a real lion. Roots and leaves unfurl into four tiny paws and a long tail with a fluffy yellow tuft. What a great, wide world there is to explore when you have paws instead of roots: there are fast trains to ride, regal ships to sail, and cities with lights as bright as Dandelion’s field in full bloom. But will a real lion ever be content to go back to being a rooted dandelion? Yoko Tanaka’s exquisite illustrations take us on an adventure where even the smallest seeds contain cosmic dreams.
My name is Dovey Coe and I reckon it do’'t matter if you like me or not. I’m here to lay the record straight, to let you know them folks saying I done a terrible thing are liars. I aim to prove it, too. I hated Parnell Caraway as much as the next person, but I didn’t kill him. Dovey Coe says what’s on her mind, so it’s no secret that she can’t stand Parnell Caraway. Parnell may be the son of the richest man in town, but he’s mean and snobby, and Dovey can’t stand the fact that he’s courting her sister, Caroline, or the way he treats her brother, Amos, as if he were stupid just because he can’t hear. So when Parnell turns up dead, and Dovey’s in the room where his body is discovered, she soon finds herself on trial for murder. Can the outspoken Dovey sit still and trust a city slicker lawyer who’s still wet behind the ears to get her out of the biggest mess of her life?
